The Buddhas of Thailand

















I follow a Buddhist's path through Thailand
and enter the interior of my mind.
Will enlightenment reveal to me its existence?
A glimpse.
It is all I seek.


"Then you must stop," he ordered.
 "But I cannot."
The world is etched with too many roads.
And the jungle is dense.
"If I stop I will fall asleep."
"Then you must stay awake."
A shaft of sunlight penetrates the canopy
spotlighting my soul.
"Enough," I say.
I am content with this solitary moment of peace.
